UK Houdini play teases stage concept

The new play, Houdini, set to open in the UK on September 9, 2013, has been doing a great job with online promotion via Twitter, Facebook, and an official website. They also have a presence on Instagram and recently posted this photo with the caption: "Sneaky pic of stage concept ;)". I like what I see!

Houdini focus on the early years of Harry and his brother, Theo. It's produced by Theatre Giant and directed by Peter Snee. Concept artwork for the play has been developed with Peter Jackson's WETA Workshop based in New Zealand.

The cast includes Evanna Lynch as Bess and Stuart Brennan (who also wrote the script) as Theo. The producers are "still looking for the perfect Harry."
